After a lengthy trial that lasted almost a year, the German arms manufacturer Heckler & Koch (H&K) was found guilty of illegally selling 5,000 G36 rifles to Mexico between 2006 and 2009, violating the German War Weapons Control Act. Two former employees of the firm, Marianne B. and Ingo S., were given suspended prison sentences […]
A U.S. Army civilian employee is recovering in Germany after four invaders broke into his house and threatened his family on Sunday. The civilian, who has not yet been identified but is a former U.S. Air Force major, killed one of the attackers with a kitchen knife during the melee. According to Stars and Stripes, […]
Only a few years ago, the Ukrainian military was hard-pressed to counter the Russians and their Donetsk separatist lackeys that were encroaching on eastern Ukraine. With Crimea lost by a combination of hybrid warfare, special operations, and Western diplomatic and political ineptitude, the future of Ukraine looked dire. Since 2014, however, the Ukrainian armed forces […]
Among other tasks, Special Forces soldiers are experts at winning people’s hearts and minds. This skillset is particularly useful in a counterinsurgency context. It also comes in handy in other circumstances. For the past few years, the Green Berets of 1st Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group—which is forward-based in Germany—have been saving the lives of civilians. Last […]
In response to growing pressure from the United States, the German government has decided to increase the size of the German military (Bundeswehr) by adding an additional Panzer battalion. The 363rd Tank Battalion, which will bring the number of tank battalions in the Bundeswehr to six, will be formed in late 2019. The 363rd Tank […]
Special operations units are known for their improvisation. Since they are designed, trained, and organised to operate behind enemy lines, having the ability to think on their feet and make do with limited resources is essential. Bring this mindset and attitude to the training room, and you get marvels. The German Kommando Spezialkrafte (KSK) created […]
Speaking of heists (see my last article about real life bank heists and upcoming films about former SOF operators here), I just came across an article about a doozy of a case involving the Italian mafia forty years ago. The crew made off with 5 million in cash as well as an additional 1 million […]
For the first since 2005, when the war in Iraq was in dire straits, the U.S. Army has failed to reach its recruiting objective. The Army leadership was seeking to add 76,500 new soldiers during the fiscal year 2018. Instead, it managed to sign up close to 70,000 recruits, thus coming 8.5 percent short of […]
Sir Peter Jackson’s new documentary/movie about World War One came out earlier this month. It’s phenomenal. The scenes range from the funny to the heart-warming to the poignant. Particularly moving are the clips that show walking wounded British soldiers who have been blinded by German poison gas, or the efforts of medics to evacuate their wounded […]
A German federal court has charged a 95-year-old man for being partially responsible for the deaths of thousands of people during the Second World War. The individual, who has been identified only by his first name and surname initial (Hans H) for legal reasons, served as an SS guard at the Mauthausen concentration camp, in Austria. […]
Recently, there have been numerous calls for the establishment of a European army. Proponents of an all-European force argue that it will diminish Europe’s dependence on the United States when it comes to defence. The context behind these calls is the desire of many European officials to pursue a more autonomous defence and foreign policy. […]
Tensions have been unusually high between NATO allies over the past week, despite coming together in Paris to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the conclusion of World War I.
